Harkl An Indian shout, followed by
o challenge from one of the guard. A
sharp rattle of drum, and every man
grasped his firelock and rushed out in
alarm. Nearly hundred savages were
pouring into the village with shouts and
cries. But there was no occasion for
alarm. 1t was Massasoit and his braves
coming in to thank the white men for
their assistance and to share their festivi-
ties. They brought with them five deer
and a good supply of other game, as their
contribution TO the feast.
So che thanksgiving feasting was con-
tinued another day. BY daybreak the fires
were again set going and the work Of
roasting, broiling and boiling was re-
sumed. This time venison was added to
the turkey.
While the feast was preparing the In
dams performed their dances, startling
the white men and frightening the young
folks and women with their wild yells and
fierce gestures. When they rested Capt.
Standish ordered out his soldiers in full
armor and put them through their mill
tary exercises, winding up with the dis
charge of yolley from their muskets,
and salute from the great cannon on the
hill top and the little cannon before the
governors door. The crash of the mus
kerry and the roar of the ordnance terri
fed the savages, and they begged the
"great captain" that he would not thun-
der again, lest he should kill them all.
On the third day the feasting was re-
sumed, the Indian hunters going out
before daybreak and returning early with
game for the days feast. A council fire
was built, and around it speeches wero
made and new pledges of friendship ex-
changed. Then, with great ceremony,
Massasoit took leave of the governor, his
friend, the great captain, and the other
chief men Of the town. Standish, with
the troop Of musketeers, e5rorted the In
dians a short distance from the settlement
and gave them parting salute.
Thus, with prayer and feasting, with
godly psalms and Indian dances, with
joyous songs, roaring artillery and Eng
lish shouts mingling cheerily with Indian
whoops, was celebrated the first New
England Thanksgiving. III. Maria George
in Demorest's Magazine.

and went to the cashiers desk. A pc

the boy spoke to him. Then he reached
down under the desk and handed out a
paper sack. The boys face was wreathed

BOTTLES AND RAGS.
A THANKSGIVING STORY.

Bottles had been dcclaiming from the
top of barrel which stood among other
merchandise upon the dock, when slim
mite of a girl came toward him from the
other side of tie wharf. Bottles jumped
down from the barrel, and, with stage
stride, approached the girl. They are a
quaint pair; he gatherer of empty bot
ties, she rag picker. If ever they had
names they are now no longer spoken, for
they are known among the quarters they
visit as Bottles and Rags. They were
Boston street waits.
Bottles is one mass of tatters and fit
tiers from crownless hat to torn shoes,
through which his frost bitten toes peep.
And the girl, if anything, is more ragged
than he. AS he grasps hold of the hand,
the spirit of the man within him speaks:
"Poor little Rags! cold as hunk OF
ice. Where you ben? what you got? and
what you goin' to do with it? If you've
ben and got nuthin' and can't do any
thin, then come with yer father. He's
got ten cents, and ten cents IL buy plate
of fried cakes, kid"
1t was interesting to study the express
sion of utter trust which came upon the
girls face while the boy is speaking. Her
father! That was only pet term he was
wont to use, expressive of his guardian
ship over her.
"Bottles," said the girl, after short
pause, "what's the most money you ever
had in all yer life?'
''To onct, do you mean, RagsH'
"Yup."
"Well, let me see; had-why! last
Christmas had as much as one seventy
fiye''-

A BRAKEMAN'S THANKSGIVING.

"Did we have any Thanksgiving at our
house"' replied the brakeman, echoing an
engineers inquiry. "Well, 1 should say
we did. I had lay off that day. The
night before came near laying me of for
ever, too Didn't you hear about that?
Funniest thing that ever happened
ON the road. AS I was coming in
on the last section of 81, having the
rear end, went up ahead to speak to the
conductor, who was on the engine. 1t
was as dark as stack of black cats before
the moon rose. AS / was going back l
slipped on O broken foot board right at the
end of one of those Internal refrigerator
cars, and fell. 1 couldn't see hand be-
fore me, but knew was going down.
clutched for the hand rail, but failed to
reach it, lost my balance, and went down
between the cars, breaking my fall by a
one hand grasp on the brake rod. /
knew what that meant. 1t came over me
like flash. 1t was death, and knew it.
My first thought was Of my wife and
babe-of what Thanksgiving dinner
they would have with the turkey the
superintendent had sent US, and me
a-lyin' in the little front room all cold. I
can't tell you all thought in that second,
and wouldn't If could. 1t was awful
I can remember striking the ground.
struck on my feet, my efforts to
grasp the hand rail and my half
grip on the brake rod having started
my feet down first. The horror Of that
shock. Quicker than you can wink the
thought ran through my brain that in the
next instant would be crushed by the
wheels of the dozen cars behind me. But /
wasn't. / fell headlong on the ground and
rolled over and over, bruised and stunned,
but conscious. / couldn't realize why the
other cars didn't run over me. / waited for
them, second by second. 1t seemed hours.
Soon l reused, scrambled to my feet, and
found that there were no cars after me. The
train had broken in two and had fallen
off the rear end. One Of my arms was
terribly sprained, also my left ankle, and
I was bruised gco1 DEAL but l could
walk There was my lantern by me.
Just then remembered that the through
express was following our section,
and that there was no one on the ca
boose to flag it. I ho5bled, almost
crawled, back about three-quarters of n
mile and found our missing cars standing
in curve and cut where the express
would surely have telescoped 'em, and got
there just in time to signal the express
and stop it. Next day was able to sit
up in bed and eat turkey and receive the
superintendent, who called to say that
should be promoted the first of the year,

Pride and Humility.

Once upon time two turkeys went to
roost on tree.
81 am the finest bird that flies," re-
marked one, complacently, sand nothing
is too good for me-" So lie picked out q
nice, soft, springy limb almost at the top
of the tree and went contentedly to sleep.
The other one had been brought up to
consider modesty great virtue, and
humbly remarked: 81 am content 10 sleep
near our dear Mother Earth. pride goeth
before fall, and who knows but that a
storm may come and blow my ambitious
companion to the ground, thus breaking
his vain neck!''
So he took a seat on the lower limb.
A storm did not come, but the owner of
the turkeys did, and the one on the lower
limb was caught, and ON Thanksgiving
day was eaten.
Moral-Danger comes as often from
below as above.

The first Thanksgiving day recorded
was observed in Leyden, Holland, Oct. 3,
1915, because of delivcrance from siege.
Such observances were not unusual in
Europe The first New England
Thanksgiving was held by order OF
Governor Bradford, at Plymouth in
1921, ''that they might after a
more special manner rejoice together -
There were thanksgiving days in New
England from 1851, nearly every year, for
special purposes, and in the New Neither
lands from 1914. During the revolution
the observance was general, but after that
was confined mostly to New England, till
just before the civil war. During the war
it was nationally observed and is now a
general custom in nearly all the states.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Col. Philip Da-
ter, an extensive ranch owner in Wyom-
ing, who is at the Pacific, says that light
cattle in considerable numbers have been
shipped into Nebraska because they could
not fatten well on the ranges, but some
CRASHED cattle in Wyoming would weigh
1850 pounds each, and would bring 81
and 81 cents pound in Omaha. He adj
mitted that corn-fed cattle were getting
to be more common, but this fall the
weather had been good on the ranges, the
grass was excellent and better cured than
for years. Shipments had stopped, and
the outlook for feed this winter was good,
while the cattle looked out for them
selves

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Love is severe critic. Hate can par
don more than love.
Man cannot live exclusively by intelli-
gence and self-love.
The word impossible" is the mother
tongue of little souls.
Conscience is the voice of the soul the
passions are the voice of the body.
Chance opportunities make as known
to Others, and still more to ourselves.
Next to acquiring good friends, the
best acquisition is that of good books
Actions, looks, words, steps, form the
alphabet by which you may spell char
acters.
Modesty is to worth what shadows are
in a painting; she gives to it strength
and relief
Grand temples are built of small
stones, and great lives made up Of
small events.
You cannot dream yourself into .
character; you must hammer and forge
yourself one.
The most delicate, the most sensible
of all pleasures consists in promoting
the pleasures of others.
Cultivate forbearance till your heart
yields a fine crop of it. Pray for a short
memory as to all unkindness.
Good qualities are the substantial
riches of the mind, but it is good breed
ing that sets them off to advantage.
Life is kindlcd only by life, and the
highest form of living can only be called
into existence in child by example.
1t is a strange desire, to seek power
and to lose liberty; or to seek power
over Others, and lose power over o mans
self
Love is like painter, who in drawing
the portrait of friend having blemish
in one eye, would picture only the other
side of his face
Sin is never at a stay; If we do ngt
retreat from it, we shall advance inlts.

Kite FLYING in India.

This is the kite time among the boys
who still cling to the old style Of max
ing and flying these toys, says writer
in the St. Louis Globe Among our
boys the only object seems to be to get
a kite into the air and enjoy the monot-
ony of holding the string. Let me tell
you how they fly kites in East India,
where it is a science. There boys, az
well as men, spend the day in the most
exciting sport. They would laugh at
the idea of flying kite merely to see it
in the air. At school in England knew
a man who had learned the East Indian
science, and he taught me how to make
and fly kite, aud did not wonder,
after seeing him, what fun the East In
dams had. At the proper season they

BY MRS. NJ. L. RAYNE.

Mr., EIIiort had eaten his supper, and
as it was yet early in the evening, he
thought he would go out and get
cigar.

hour" he said to his wife. 'Pll run

Robinson; she preferred Jack Elliort.

shall expect you home at 8 precisely; no

man"
But Mr.. Elliort had snatched a kiss
and the sentence was never finished.
The hour soon passed.
The girl had finished her work and
gone out. Mrs Euiort was alone, but
she did not mind it, as she now expect
ed her husband every moment.
The clock struck eight.
Mrs. Elliort was startled by a ring at
the front door.
